In the highly-anticipated first debate of the 2024 presidential campaign, Joe Biden and Donald Trump will face off without any assistance from their campaign teams or any props. As the candidates spent the last few days preparing for the debate, Biden reportedly engaged in mock debates at the Camp David presidential retreat, while Trump worked closely with his former chief of staff and also enlisted the help of a former White House counsel. All eyes will be on the two candidates for 90 minutes tonight as they rely solely on their own preparation and debate skills.
ABC News interviews experts to discuss the impact of new guidelines on the first presidential debate between President Joe Biden and Donald Trump. The two candidates will face off in a studio at CNN's Atlanta headquarters, with muted microphones, no live audience, and limited commercial breaks. The rules could lead to a more substantive and issue-focused debate, diverging from the contentious first matchup between Biden and Trump in 2020.
